The paper identifies two distinct CD8 T cell gene expression programs in HBV infection that correlate with viral control and functional cure.

This study shows that B cells in hepatitis C patients retain dysregulated transcriptional profiles after cure, with sustained TNF signaling driving chronic inflammation and loss of protective memory.

This paper describes a method to sequence Zika and other virus genomes directly from clinical samples using multiplex PCR and portable sequencing technologies, achieving complete genomes in 1-2 days.

The paper uses ZIKV genomes to estimate the origin and spread of Zika virus in Brazil and the Americas, providing a timeframe for baseline microcephaly rates.
